Xero, set up in your name
Your own Xero account with a chart of accounts built for a US LLC.
How it works
You own the account and its history. We set up the accounts, connect bank feeds where your bank supports one, and manage the books inside it.
Bookkeeping for your US company
Clear books for your US business.
Reconciled records and monthly financial statements for your US LLC, kept in Xero and ready when your federal filing comes around.
$1,999 per year. Included in Full Compliance.
Reconciled every month.Books kept for founders who bank and get paid through providers like these
Where a provider offers a bank feed we connect it; where it does not, you upload statements and we reconcile from those.
What you receive
Books that are ready when you need them.
Each month your accounts are reconciled and your statements prepared. The same records feed your year-end filing.
Monthly reconciliation
Every bank and card transaction categorised and matched to your records.
How it works
Where a bank has no feed, you upload statements and we reconcile from those. Multi-currency transactions are recorded in USD with the original currency kept.
Monthly statements
Profit and loss, balance sheet and cash flow, each month.
How it works
Statements are available in your Xero account. Year-end figures are handed to your federal filing without re-entry.
Why founders trust us
Why founders trust us with their books
Four plain facts about how bookkeeping works here.
Foreign-owned US companies only
Every set of books we keep belongs to a US company run from abroad, so owner contributions, withdrawals and multi-currency income are the routine, not a special case.
The same monthly routine for everyone
Reconcile the month, prepare the statements, ask you about anything we cannot identify. A quiet company and a busy one get the same close.
Records that stay yours
The Xero account is created in your name. If you ever leave, the account and every year of history go with you.
Four languages
The monthly question list and every answer come in English, Spanish, Portuguese or French.
Is it right for you?
Low activity or busy. Both fit.
A quiet LLC with a handful of transactions and an active one selling every day get the same monthly routine. The difference is how much you send us, not what you receive.
- Low activity: statement uploads once a month are usually enough
- Active business: connected feeds from your bank and payment providers
- Either way: owner contributions and withdrawals recorded for Form 5472

Monthly deliverables

Bank and card reconciliation
Every transaction from your connected feeds or uploaded statements matched and categorised.

Anything we cannot identify goes on the monthly question list for you.
Profit and loss
Income and expenses for the month and the year to date.
Detail
Available in Xero as soon as the month is closed.
Balance sheet
What the company owns and owes at month end.

Cash flow statement
Where cash came from and where it went.
Detail
Useful for provider applications that ask for recent cash flow.
Owner transactions tracked for Form 5472
Contributions and withdrawals recorded by category as they happen.

These are the reportable transactions Form 5472 asks for; keeping them clean all year makes the filing straightforward.
Multi-currency recorded in USD
Payments in other currencies are recorded in USD with the original amount kept on record.
Detail
Exchange-rate differences are tracked so the year-end figures reconcile.
Who does what
You provide the records. We keep the books.
Bookkeeping stays accurate when both sides are clear. Here is the split.
You provide
- Bank and payment-provider access or monthly statement uploads
- Receipts or invoices for anything we cannot identify
- A note when you put money in or take money out of the company
- Answers to a short monthly question list
We handle
- Xero setup and the chart of accounts
- Categorising and reconciling each month’s transactions
- Preparing profit and loss, balance sheet and cash flow
- Passing year-end figures to your federal filing
One plan, one price
Bookkeeping, or the whole bundle.
Standalone accounting suits a company that only needs books. Full Compliance covers books and filings for an individually owned LLC at the same annual price.

What we correct at no charge
Each month's close is checked before the statements are prepared. If we categorised something wrongly, fixing it is on us.
- A categorisation error we made: corrected and the affected statements re-run at no charge
- A reconciliation we closed with a transaction missing from a feed we manage: reopened and corrected at no charge
- Transactions you did not tell us about are added to the next close, with a quote if they need bookkeeping for earlier months

10 min readWhich software do you use?
Xero. The account is created in your name, so you keep it and its history if you ever leave. We can migrate an existing QuickBooks or spreadsheet history into it during setup.
How often are my books updated?
Monthly. Each month we reconcile the transactions and prepare your profit and loss, balance sheet and cash flow. Bank feeds bring in transactions between closes where your bank supports them.
What if my bank does not connect to Xero?
You upload a statement each month and we reconcile from that. Many non-US banks and payment providers have no feed, so this is a normal part of the routine.
How does this relate to Full Compliance?
Full Compliance is $1,999 per year plus state fees for an individually owned single-member LLC and includes this same bookkeeping alongside federal filing, state compliance filing and registered agent service. If your company is eligible, it is the more complete plan for the same price.
Does this include my tax filing?
No. Standalone accounting is bookkeeping only. Federal filing is a separate per-filing service, or included in Full Compliance. Your year-end figures are handed over either way.
Can I cancel?
The subscription is annual and renews unless you cancel. Your Xero account and its data stay yours. Refund terms are set out in the Terms of Service.
Which accounts can you connect?
Any bank, card or payment provider with a Xero bank feed connects directly; Stripe and PayPal usually do. Accounts without a feed work from a monthly statement upload.
Do you show me how to use Xero?
Yes. During setup we walk you through the dashboard and how to find each statement, and you can ask your bookkeeper questions by email whenever something is unclear.
What happens at year end?
The twelve closed months become the year-end figures. If we prepare your federal filing, they are handed straight into it; if someone else does, you export the statements from Xero and send them on.
Your books, kept current.
